My friend came to visit for the weekend. All we did was buy fabric, sew, and listen to country music – that is so my kind of weekend! Here are a few projects we made. (There were 2 other small quilts and a table runner that I didn’t get pictures of because we were so busy!)

The quilt is for her little boy’s toddler bed.These items are for her little girl’s birthday. We made a skirt, headband, and cross-body purse. I love the fabrics!

Here goes the transformation of a “Rapunzel” inspired room. Lots of spray paint will be involved!!!I got these frames from thrift shops and garage sales. I took the pictures and glass out and spray painted them heirloom white.If you preorder the “Tangled” DVD from the Disney store you get 4 Tangled prints and a $10 coupon – no brainer! I knew I wanted to use the pictures in Sally’s room, but they are a funny size. So, I used the over sized frames and just tacked the picture in the center – I love how it looks!I already had this quilt but needed to fix it up a bit. I cut lavender circles and flowers out and appliqued/quilted them right on top and I love the new look it gives.New flower center and the quilting is swirledI finally painted this little night stand that I got at a garage sale – 2 of them for $5! It began as a yellow flowered night stand with brass handles – I’m sure you’ve seen the look. One can of Heirloom white later and I love it! We also spray painted the thrifted jewelry box and the thrifted mirror! (notice the Cinderella perfume, it was from Santa and smells so cute!)I sewed a little quilt to go on top of the nightstand. I love how it turned out – super simple I think it took and hour start to hand sewn binding!I used the puff balls from the birthday party and hung them in the Rapunzel room. The puff balls were made from white tissue paper and I lightly spray painted the edges pink or purple so they have a softer, blended feel.
